The Final Reel |
Jack and Gillian, facing their decline |
Take to the dance floor for one final time |
Who’d deny them this last shot? |
Taking a twirl, are they in the final reel or not? |
Jack and Gillian, walking hand in hand |
Disappearing along the shining strand |
Who’d deny them this state of grace? |
So we find them with not a single hair out of place |
Picture-perfect, matching pace for pace |
Her head on his shoulder, his arm around her waist |
But if you put them on the spot, what would they say? |
Are they in the final reel or what? |
Sayonara, tschüss, adieu, farewell |
Will we meet again? |
No one can tell |
Not the manner, not the time |
No one can hide, no one leaves the final reel behind |
Jack turns to Gillian, misty-eyed |
And presses the pills in her hand |
All they’ve got left is the downhill slide |
So they’d better act while they can |
This much they know |
They’re not in the final reel alone |
This much they know |
They’ll not leave the final reel alone |
They take the dive |
No one leaves the final reel alive |
They take the dive |
No one leaves the final reel alive |
